The pattern and fabric<\/h3>\n

While patiently waiting for spring to come back, I am slowly building my Spring Wardrobe. I was so excited to see McCall’s pattern early spring pattern release. McCall’s 7537 <\/a>caught my eyes and I knew I had to make my own version of this dress! This is view B.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I found the perfect fabric match in Fabricville’s new Spring collection! Lili Rayon Coordinate in Tie Dye Coral\/grey<\/a>. This 100% rayon is soft and light. I did not line my dress but on second thought I would suggest lining this fabric. I will probably wear this dress with a slip.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The process<\/h3>\n

I took the time to check the finished measurements for the bodice and midriff. I decided to trace and cut a size 8 for the bodice and a size 12 for the midriff and skirt. Cutting the fabric was a breeze using my rotary cutter and self-healing mat. This fabric does fray a little.<\/p>\n

Assembling the dress was smooth. The fabric followed the feed dog without any issues, using my regular pressure foot. I made sure to finish my seam allowances all around using the Mock french Seam technique. I also used a little bit of bias tape on the seam allowances where I inserted my invisible zip. My hems were completed using the narrow hem method.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Fit<\/h3>\n

I was pleased with the end result. However, getting there was a little journey…! I had a few issues with the bodice. The front split is way too deep. If it wasn’t for the two buttons I added, the split would reveal skin way pass\u00a0my bust. \u00a0While constructing the bodice, I was afraid that the length would be too short. So I decided to complete the midriff and skirt portion and baste it to the bodice. I was able to find the right undergarment to make it \u00a0fit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think that this fabric gives the dress a WOW factor! The rayon is so comfortable to wear. The fabric flows nicely\u00a0and those colors are perfect for Spring! I’m in love with this silhouette I was able to achieve because of the beautiful drape of Lili Rayon! Can’t get enough\u00a0of this fabric! I can easily see it being transformed\u00a0in an off-shoulder top, a jumpsuit or a long flowy maxi dress! They have so \u00a0many other prints and solid in this collection! We’ll see what else I’ll grab on my next trip to Fabricville!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Do you love sewing with rayon fabric? You should definitively grab this one! This fabric just made it on my favorite fabric list!<\/p>\n

Talk to you soon!<\/p>\n
